Dojo (道場dōjō?) is a Japanese term which literally means "place of the way". Initially, dōjōs were adjunct to temples.
In the Western World, the term dōjō primarily refers to a training place specifically for Japanese martial arts such as aikido, judo, karate, or samurai;[1] in Japan, any physical training facility, including professional wrestling schools, may be called dōjō because of its close martial arts roots.[2] The term can also refer to a formal training place for any of the Japanese arts ending in "do", meaning "way".

Ka whati te tī, ka wana te tī, ka rito te tī ‘When the cabbage tree is broken it sprouts and throws up shoots’ This fabulous whakaktauki (proverb) encapsulates the idea that even when things appear to be broken and beyond repair, something with deep roots and strong life-force can start anew. It also holds notions of the inevitability of events once they are set in motion — including change.
